To me our players look completely frozen with ball in hand. They're slow, unsure of what to do it where to run. They ignore short kicks to bomb the ball long. Team mates don't run to space to open up the field. They look conflicted between team rules and instinct A more attacking coach will hopefully change this

Geelongs composure with ball in hand shows how pathetic Melbourne has been. It's been first class. Hopefully king will free our players up to be more instinctive and play with flair

For 140 years the deliberate OOB rule worked just fine.......

Well you'd whine either way so it matters little. The stats don't lie in the previous 25 odd years Looks to most observers that we have made an astute decision Your carping about sticking with Simon being the only way to go will be lost in the mists of time. Those of us that could see the trajectory of our performances going over a cliff seem pretty happy.

Maybe but Geelong seem like a mature club that will handle it OK. The benefit of having continuity in a finals campaign probably outweighs any 'additional' IP that he might gain.

From an article: King’s appointment was “unanimously accepted” by the club’s board after a recommendation from the selection panel, which included former Essendon captain Jobe Watson and Melbourne Storm director of football Frank Ponissi The club and board have handled themselves very well through this despite much hand wringing on here. Kudos to them

Hope the whiners about the club leaking will be happy. This was kept well quiet Good decision from the club. No 1 to exit Simon, no 2 to go with a very experienced assistant that is at a club that knows how to contend Should immediately gain the respect of the players and will bring some solid IP to the club, particularly if Geelong win the flag! Looks like a great decision

Fritch 41% improvement Comedy gold

Even recruiting membrey would have given us a solid marking target

At least Collingwood have the chance to go out in straight sets

Proud of our effort tonight but geez we have some dumb players 1g 5b in the last was never gonna win it Crying out for players with composure that can hit a target Steven May just go. Take your big mouth with you

Where's petty? Put him at full back ffs may to ff

Thanks may You gob off at other players and that's 2 weeks running you have cost us Thanks for your service Goodbye

May is done Cooked Fried Schnitzled

Another last 5sec shot on goal [censored]

Better than Cyril

My kingdom for a player that can hit a target

I'm sitting here counting the number of chip kicks that Coll do where out lazy arssedplayers don't even pressure them. They go the whole length of the ground Infuriating

What's the point we won't kick it to them

Pretty sure the 5 goals and 8 marks in the 1st qtr last week on Gunston was worse but i get yr point. The difference between our players best and worst has to be the widest in the whole competition

Saw that too. If it was May it would be 4 weeks. Not a single comment from he commentators

Maggots killing us

Dumb football again

If we can stop their i50 marks we're in this

For the last 4 years.....
